God really can do anything

Have had a weekend away from computers (for the most part!) and apart from the planned Christmas shopping, have only missed blogging really.

God is doing a whole lot of things right now (not that he's not always!), but it's giving my life a shake-up, that's for sure. So much I don't understand, and while I am loving it, the more things unfold, the more I don't understand. All fine and good- it's in good hands.

And then there's the really random conversations and comments, and situations that you downplay, and one thing happens after another when finally you realize that there's big change afoot and before you know it you're on a journey that you totally didn't expect. A truly random phone call on the way home from church (which I have now called work twice tonight!) delivered the possibility of yet a whole other vision for next year, which is likewise completely exciting. God is amazing, stretching tent-pegs and beyond my wildest hopes or imaginings.

And so, as I pray about a whole lot of impossible things and events, have added two people who I find impossible to believe would love Jesus with their whole hearts....but going to pray and see what God does.

Ephesians 3:20 comes to mind yet again. Pretty awesome, and so humbling.

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.

Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!
